Grateful for a day of sobriety.
Grateful that the sun was out, even though it was windy and not as warm as I thought, it was good. Goodbye to winter coats.
Grateful for freedom of choice today. I chose to go to bed and then when I woke up with the phone ringing instead of the alarm, I wasn't too grateful as I had only 2 hours sleep. I went to bed for 5 min. got back up, showered, went to get my blood work done at the lab and came home, but better for a day away from four walls.
Grateful for the green around me and the flowers that were blooming. A man passed me walking his dog and I told him I was checking out some violets in someone's garden. He said it is nice to see special things like that. I know I didn't notice prior to recovery.
Grateful that I can appreciate and give thanks for the Creator's bountiful gifts.
Grateful that my God can be found in all places, He is too big to just fit inside a church.
Grateful for memories, good and bad. It makes me grateful for where I am at in today.
Grateful that I have choices as to what I want to eat in today. There were times in my life, there wasn't a choice. It was eat that or do without or it wasn't there to eat.
Grateful that I can apply the program to all areas of my life.
Grateful that my problems can be turned into challenges and I can over come them instead of staying stuck. It always begins with me. It is the thinking that I have to take to my God, it is the root of all my problems. It is a disease of perception and thankfully, I can ask for it to be healed.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. God Bless.
